Where are the older builds?

Llorean:
If you're getting less than 6 hours under either firmware, your battery is quite old, and could probably do with replacing.

Mr_Samsa:
I think you're right about the battery. I got 4 hours of play time under the Rb firmware, before i got a phone call and had to pause the player. When i came back to it, the player was off. I started it back up, and the opening screen gave a voltage reading of 3.66V. I tried to play something and right away it said it had to shut down and then crashed outright (totally shut off) and wouldn't respond to any button commands to turn it back it.
I used the AC adapter to give it a little jump, just long enough to turn it on and boot up the iRiver firmware, then disconnected it and got an additional 30 minutes of playing before the battery completely died.

So i do have a battery problem, but the rockbox firmware is still killing the player before its time is up. Take that for what it's worth. I'm buying a new battery. :) Thanks for the help.


PS: Where should i buy a new battery and what kind does it use?

What does that mean?  In what way is Rockbox killing your player?

Forcing it to turn off and not letting it turn back on. Don't take it too literally.
